LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a new mix of big and little dogs waiting for their new homes this week.
The dogs available this week include mixes of American Staffordshire Terrier, Australian Kelpie, border collie, boxer, fox terrier, German Shorthaired Pointer, Labrador Retriever, mastiff, pit bull, Pomeranian, poodle and shepherd.
Dogs that are adopted from Lake County Animal Care and Control are either neutered or spayed, microchipped and, if old enough, given a rabies shot and county license before being released to their new owner. License fees do not apply to residents of the cities of Lakeport or Clearlake.
If you're looking for a new companion, visit the shelter. There are many great pets hoping you'll choose them.
